(The first was Nights of Cabiria.) And omigosh! My roomie's parents took us out to dinner, then to the movie -- with a promise that it would be different.I'll never forget the moment when, after much silence, the carriage wheel (axle?) clanged so loud. I've never jumped like that at a "horror movie". Thank goodness for theatres and theatre sound. (It was the classic revival house, still going, the Brattle.)
Did you view it with subtitles? If so, I wonder whether they've been redone, the originals were crappy. The dubbed version is the best job I've seen (heard?), and clarifies the scene in the operating theatre where, as it happens, an abortion is being carried out. Whose?...
